Feet on the Ground, Head in the Cloud: A Frequent Exhibitor’s Take on Cloud-focused Tradeshows

Over the course of my career, I’ve attended a lot of events – many in the capacity of being an exhibitor. There is one common truth that resonates at 98% of events regardless of industry: attendees and sponsors want different things. And in my experience, these differences are even more marked at cloud-focused events.

Cloud computing has been a growth market for the past few years, and therefore has been a hot topic. According to the latest research report from Market Research Media1 covering cloud computing products, technologies and services for the global market, the global cloud computing market is expected to grow at a 30% CAGR reaching $270 billion in 2020. Smart people in roles that may shift to include the cloud want to be proactive, and learn about what’s new in the market that may ultimately impact their jobs. Of the initial glut of cloud events being launched a few years back (similar to events focusing on mobile technologies), only a few big ones are even left standing.
